Yeah, agreed. He gets shy about masturbation and his erections and is ashamed by it all and then goes like a rabbit in ep 7... just to then get shy about it all and .. huh... I so wish First and Ja would FINALLY get ONE decent script. Just one.

I agree that the pacing is off. I wonder if it's maybe because the characterisations are not done probably and that's why it feels that way. Punn has had a crush for a while, we know that. So his confession was not as weird for me. What was weird was that he went so quickly from "I'm his fan and he is way better than me and I shouldn't bother him" to "Let's confess and make him my boyfriend". And then Achi is this mystery box. Is he lonely or in love? he seems to be surprised to be into a guy suddenly, so he got over his gay awakening really quickly and then went right from "oh I might find a guy hot" to "lets go get it". I also find it very odd that there is not more of a discussion about Achi being in the public eye and how a gay relationship might cause problems (sorry that it's like this, but sadly that's reality). And then the whole grandmother talk... yeah. It was all very fast and crammed into one episode, while the first 3 lacked any kind of character development for the audience. They are just... there.

Honestly, no words for how much I love this show! It gets better with each episode and there aren't many shows I can say that about. Amazing acting, an interesting story and sizzling chemistry that also works beautifully emotionally for both couples. I can't wait for the "conclusion" while at the same time I don't want it to be over.

Yeah, Jam kind of looks older than he is - not in a bad way, but in a more mature way. Same in ‚to sir with love‘. I am not sure if there he actually played the older character. But Film (Charn) is actually older than Jam (Tinn).
And I feel like the show gets better with each episode as we get to know the characters better and see behind Charns walls

This show is the nicest surprise I've had in a while. The story is interesting and not the usual "I know by ep 2 how all will unfold" plot. It's engaging, real, romantic and touching at the same time without losing the suspense or painting everything in pink.
And the actors... I was actually staring disbelievingly at the screen with Tinn's first "hard" scenes. Good lord, Jam can ACT. Charn (Film) took me a minute more to get there, because I wasn't sure how much was the character being manic or Film acting manic, but now it turns out he really knows what he is doing. I think this might be the strongest cast and most solid plot I've seen in a BL this year. So far, great show! I hope it won't be one of the few that ruin it all last minute

I didn't like the first three episodes at all, because the main characters remained stereotypes without any depth or backstory in painful scenes. Episode 4 was actually good, so I am hoping to see more of that in the future. Even though I could do without this horrible overacted drama they are shooting

I honestly don't get why a "bed friend" co-worker to sex friends kind of things needs to have this many issues. By ep 2 I was ready to throw something at the screen.
If one would change Uea into a female character no one would call this romance, but a abuse/toxic relationship she is gaslighted into. King is absolutely inappropriate at work and Uea should just report him to HR for sexual harassment. Then he has sex with a totally black out drunk Uea, yes some would call that rape, He follows him into the bathroom and locks the door so he can't escape, and then manages to spin the tale that Uea feels bad about being angry with him for it and apologizes.
"Questioning your own powers of reasoning through manipulation", yes that's the definition of gaslighting. King is simply adding onto Uea's already untreated trauma.
I can't watch this past ep 2. I've had enough. No matter how much I like the actors, this messed up script makes it unbearable.

I've rarely watched a show where after the first episode I started to completely skip over the main couple with zero interest in them left, while I ADORE the second couple they present. They are sweet but layered and with a lot of potential for both happiness as conflict. I think with the first couple the whole time skip thing, while interesting in theory, works against them because it adds to the overall confusion while at the same time in neglect-able. I think maybe they would work better for me, if the whole time skip wouldn't be there.

As much as I love the story idea and concept, I am not sure I'll be able to watch it with a straight face because of the wigs! Good lord... I thought Ja in UWMA was bad, but this might be worse!
